HALFTIME HAZARD Referee benched by pot Pity the poor referee. Gary Lee Baker of Battle Creek stepped outside for a smoke last Friday night after calling the first half of the Pennfield Town- ship-Battle Creek St. Phillip game. Okay on the surface, but police reported that Baker was smoking those funny cigarettes. Upon his euphoric re-entrance into the gym, Baker was shaken down by police. He paid the price of their eternal vigilance when they discovered that the groovy ref had a pair of joints in his possession. Baker demanded examination Tuesday in Battle Creek Dis- trict Court on a charge of possession of marijuana. He is cur- rently out of jail on $500 bond. As luck would have it, police had been called to the game to break up the beginnings of a brawl between toughs from the two high schools. They searched everyone entering the gym for wea- pons, and netted three knives. To the surprise of the gendarmes, however, Baker had some- thing much more exotic than a knife. Although Baker's joints could hardly have been used to precipitate a brawl, police confis- cated both them and their owner. One policeman, in the traditional good humor of his profession, commented after Baker's arrest that "being a referee is a pretty hectic job, I guess." Rounding out the top five, the tucky leads the conference with Big Eight leading Kansas Jay- hawks remained number five by overwhelming both Colorado and Oklahoma. The Jacksonville Dolphins, led by giant Artis Gilmore, rolled to three consecutive victories this week to stay number six. South Carolina moved from tenth to seventh. Its rival in the Atlantic Coast Conference, North Carolina, moved from eleventh to eighth. Strangely enough, North Carolina leads the conference with an 8-1 record followed by Virgin- ia at 6-4 and South Carolina at 5-4. Western Kentucky d r o p p e d from seventh to ninth after suf- fering a loss at the hands of un- ranked Dayton. The third inde- pendent team of the top ten be- sides Jacksonville andnMarquette, Duquesne, moved to number ten on the virtue of three consecutive victories. La Salle, in a rugged battle with St. Josephs in the Middle Atlantic- East-Section Conference, moved from thirteenth to eleventh place. Kentucky tumbled from eighth last week to twelfth after losing one over the weekend. Tennessee, Kentucky's Southeastern Confer- ence foe, received the number thirteen ranking. Presently, Ken- FROSH PHENOM: a 10-2 record, but in close pursuit are both Tennessee and Vander- bilt with 9-3 records. Notre Dame, the only team to stop UCLA this year, lost again and slipped to number fourteen. Another independent team, Utah State, is ranked fifteenth. The well balanced Michigan Wolverines remained sixteenth, despite a hard fought win over Purdue. Murray State, a member of t h e Ohio Valley Conference along with ninth-ranked Western Kentucky, follows Michigan. Both Murray State and Western Ken- tucky exhibit 8-1 conference rec- ords, but are closely pursued by East Tennessee with a 6-1 record. Fordham, after losing their 6-10 center, now have a starting lineup averaging only 6-2. Nevertheless, their full court press and f a s t break have earned them an out- standing record and the eighteen- th spot. Louisville, leading the Missouri Valley Conference with a 6-3 mark over St. Louis who is 5-3, moved into t h e nineteenth spot, while Ohio State, second to Michigan in the Big Ten, took the twen- tieth spot. Louisville and Oh 10 State replaced Villonova a n d Houston from the previous poll.

(second floor) Sponsored by the Office of Religious Affairs 2282 S.A.B. 764-7442 By SANDI GENIS I know a man, he's a powerful man He's got the people in his power In the palm of his hand. He started from the bottom and worked his way up Now he's never going to stop Until he reaches the top. It's the same old story, it's the same old dream, It's powerman, powerman.K -from "Powerman" by the Kinks One need only glance at the Herculean proportions of Mich- igan's super freshman shotput- ter Steve Adams as he launches the sixteen-pound metal ball in- to the air to recognize the ap- propriateness of these words from a recent song by Adams' favorite group, the Kinks. Indeed, Adams displays such power as he hurls the shot that it was little wonder that he was one of t h e most sought-after trackmen in the nation last s p r i n g, prompting numerous coaches to think of him as a po- tential Karl Salb or Randy Mat- son. At a substantial 6-7, 275, Adams is easily one of the larg- est putters in the nation. He is so large, in fact, t h a t rather than wear a normal track warmup suit, Adams has the dis- tinction of sporting a basketball warmup suit that belonged to the late Bill Buntin. But it is not his size alone that distinguishes Adams from the ranks of ordinary shotput- ters. A high school All-Ameri- can and New Jersey state champ at St. Joseph's Regional, Adams was officially recognized as the top schoolboy putter in the na- Ue I (next to South Quad) T im J MAKE WAY FOR THE KING SCOTTY'S CROWNING ACHIEVEMENT tion, with a best put of 66 feet. Surprisingly enough, Adams' track history extends back on- ly to his freshman year in high school. Although his dad, an Il- linois graduate, had p u t the shot, Adams never seriously con- sidered the sport until t h a t time. A tackle on the football team in his freshman fall, he took up track at the urging of his high school mentor. As Adams puts it, "Coach Murphy came up to me one afternoon and asked if I was interested in trying the shot. I agreed, and after that the only varsity sport I was in- terested in was track." But despite his preoccupation with track and field, where he took up the discus as well as the shot, he still found time to play CYO basketball and was subsequently named to the all- star squad for his efforts. While visiting the east coast, Michigan field coach Jack Har- vey needed only one look at the Atlas-like youngster to decide that Adams was just the man Michigan needed to bolster its track and field hopes. After seeing him toss the shot at a meet in Jersey City as a junior at St. Josephs, Harvey set about to convince the athlete of that same thing. A period of two y e a r s of frequent b u t non - pressured communication ensued. After a visit to campus in October of his senior year, Adams, a product of a Big Ten oriented family, notified an eager Harvey of his decision to attend. However as Harvey feared might be the case, an offer from Kansas, home of shotputting aces Karl Salb and Steve Wil- helm, momentarily s w a y e d Adams' resolve a n d he wrote An Unusual Look At EUROPE Places such as: Rome, Berlin, Prague, Paris, Monte Carlo, Ge- neva, French Riviera, and more How long: 7 weeks, from May 5 to June 26, 1971 including 10 days behind the IRON CURTAIN Details: Thursday, February 18, 1971 Mass Meetings: Central Campus: UGLI Multi- purpose room 7:00 p.m. North Campus: Bursley Hall main lounge 9 p.m. Harvey that he planned to ac- cept Kansas' offer. But the impetuousness of the youth was outweighed by the ef- forts of George Wade, a form- er New Jersey resident who had coached Harvey. Wade tele- phoned Adams to discuss h i s latest decision and, as a result, Adams once again contacted the elated field coach to reassert his intention of attending Mich- igan. It isn't often that a confer- ence record holder looks for- ward to seeing his mark shat- tered, although he knows it in- evitably must happen. But Har- vey, a former Michigan putter who still owns both the Big Ten indoor a n d outdoor marks, seems intent on coaching h is young protege to that new rec- ord in his freshman season. Adams has been tossing the weight in the neighborhood of 56 feet of late and adding near- ly a foot a week to his tosses, in keeping with Harvey's sch- edule, but he's not really satis- fied with his performances. "In high school I wasn't sat- isfied. I should have hit 70 feet with the twelve pound shot. I guess now I won't be satisfied until I hit sixty feet. But then, I suppose if I hit 58 or so, sixty won't mean too much and I'll have to aim for 62 or 63," the athlete revealed. Harvey however is not as pes- simistic as his young student. "We're hoping t h a t Steve can be putting in the neighbor- hood of 60 feet at the Big Ten's. He has such great size, which is a definite asset, and if he keeps working he should be able to take the Big Ten title." "But," he continues, "Steve is only eighteen and still growing. He still hasn't developed his up- per body to full capacity. We've 4 got to work on his speed and form. By the time he's a senior, S t e v e should be throwing around 68 feet consistently." And the affable young athlete speaks well of his mentor. It is obvious from the first that they are the best of friends. But he admits, "It's rather hard being such good friends with your coach sometimes. You feel you just can't disappoint him." One aspect of Adams talent that both men agree has im- proved under Harvey's tutelage is his putting form. "I guess my form wasn't very good in high school," Adams ad- mits. "At the Golden West meet Jessie Stuart, the youngest of the famed Stuart brothers and runner up on the shot put in that meet, commented on how bad my form was." But more recently, at the Mich- igan Relays where the two were once again competing against one another, Stuart noticed that Adams form had improved ap- preciably, a fact both Adams and H a r v e y are understandably pleased about. A discussion of Stuart natur- ally leads into a discussion of the nature of Adams' competition. While looking ahead to the ex- citement and challenge of throw- ing against putters like Salb and Wilhelm in the NCAA's next month, the young giant is realis- tic enough to acknowledge that, at least for the moment, his main rivalry remains with his fellow Big Ten opponents. Minnesota's Colin Anderson, to whom he lost at the Michigan State Relays, and Winchell, In- diana's defending indoor champ, are among his prime challengers in his estimation. As for college competition on the whole Adams readily agrees that it is "really big time: In high school there was really no pressure, but that's not the case here. But the sport means more to me now. Despite the fact that he feels that sometimes "track is like pulling teeth", Adams unhesitat- ingly recommends the sport to all interested young men, saying "When I was a freshman in high school I was a shy little boy, but track gave me confidence. And competing offers a great oppor- tunity to travel and meet people." THEHUIVAL scivr -, -- - .
